'Cause I do so much homework I'm good to go on the first take; I don't want to rehearse. I like the element of what's unpredictable of that first take and nobody knows what's going to happen, and I'm a big fan of that.

I keep everything very simple. I like telling stories.

I don't like to plan anything ever because it never seems to work. I'm just really...let's just get this film out and see how this one does.

Big things have small beginnings.

Sometimes if I stick in a character too much I feel like I might start to get blinkered, because I'm making my decisions too definite.

I'm not going to talk about my private life with a total stranger, unless I feel like I need to. Why would I? I don't.

Nobody wants to hear Metallica at lunchtime.
